+ * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
+ * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
+ * - a list of information element IDs
+ * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
+ *
+ * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the

+ * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
+ * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
+ * vendor information elements.
+ *
+ * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
+ * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.

+ * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and

+ * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
+ *
+ *
+ * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
+ * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
+ * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
+ * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
+ * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
+ * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
+ * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
+ * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
+ *
+ * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
